I've set Wigan Athletic Vs Man City to record on Monday 19 Feb, 7.30 - 10pm, BBC1 HD. Its set to record in the EPG but it isn't in MyTVs list of scheduled recordings. So the question is will it record or not? And why isn't it listed in MyTV? Also, Saturdays FA Cup MotD was cut short by 5 mins and the switch of Football Focus to BBC 2 on Sat 17/02 at 12pm wasn't picked up at all. Thats pretty poor from the normally excellent BBC. I understand the Winter Olympics is on but they dropped the ball on this one.

Hi scott. I'm on 29.44.10 (retail) but unfortunately thats not relevant to the above issues as they are purely a BBC problem. I don't have an app and nor am I testing an Alexa. Its only straight remote commands.

NOTE - Wigan Athletic Vs Man City has now appeared in MyTVs list of scheduled recordings.

Hi everyone.There is a series on BT Sport thats called 'BT Sport Films', which are like fanzine films, the episodes of which are often made available for free and theres a gem out there right now. Its about the concept and launch of the 1990s football series Football Italia on CH4. Its well worth a watch.

@Visionman Is that peak, or average? It was 4/6m on ITV alone last year, without an English club involved, so to me this year seems very disappointing by comparison.

2017 - BT Sport says that an average of 2.8 million TV viewers watched Real Madrid beat Juventus 4-1 last Saturday evening (why did ITV show champions league final last year when it is exclusive to BT Sports? Can you point to your source for that figure please.)

@redchiz so this year 6.5m opposed to 4.3 last year..I would say that was pretty good and better than when it was shown on a PSB free channel in 2015 (almost unheard of).

'And it was "free" after all, just not in a way that many people obviously bothered to access it.' - most programmes would be very happy to get 1.8 million viewers - not sure if SKY's most watched premier match drew that many watchers and they payed billions ;-)

Its a very big result not only for BT, but for IPTV in general and shows that the general public is increasingly becoming aware of it. The iPlayer, for instance, has been smashing all previous viewing records in the last 18 months.
